Pros

Pay and benefits are solid. Fully remote work has been a huge perk. Also, some incredibly smart and supportive coworkers who genuinely care about doing good work.

Cons

Where to start? Direction changes constantly, driven more by optics and politics than any coherent strategy. Product vision is unclear. Micromanagement is frequent—often from e-staff with no relevant domain expertise. It’s a top-down culture of “say yes and you’ll grow,” where pushing back or offering a better idea just gets you burned out or ignored. The eNPS scores are shockingly low (this is openly acknowledged in all-hands), yet there’s been zero accountability or meaningful action to improve morale. Culture is largely performative, and trust between leadership and the rest of the company is eroding fast. The remote work policy is another example of the inconsistency—some teams are being told to come in without clear rationale, while others remain fully remote. It’s arbitrary, poorly communicated, and unfair.

Pros

Momentum is real—6 straight quarters of growth has given the company energy and focus. New CEO brings a fresh perspective and is already leaning into transparency, customer focus, and bold decision-making. Offsites and Mixcursions are genuinely inspiring—rare to see a company invest in bringing everyone together in ways that feel energizing, not just performative. A renewed set of values that leadership is actively encouraging people to live and celebrate. Smart, collaborative teammates who want to do their best work and help each other succeed. Free lunch for days you come into the office ($20 up to twice a week) - thanks for bringing back this nice perk!

Cons

Like any company in growth mode, there’s still work to do in connecting strategy to execution consistently across teams. Moving fast means priorities shift sometimes, which can feel challenging to navigate.

Pros

Welcoming and supportive co-workers and so far everyone has been willing to jump in and help with issues. Good benefits. My team has a real interest in doing things better and differently.

Cons

We are better at starting something than finishing it. We have a lot of tools and disjointed processes.
